“…Because of the presence of various composting materials in food waste, it is helpful to increase organic matter. Similar findings were reported by Gajalakshmi and Abbasi and Szilveszter et al [ 36 , 37 ], who found that the type of feedstock used to produce compost has a significant impact on organic carbon, soil health, and plant growth.…”

In Dilla town and the university compound, huge amounts of biodegradable solid waste (BDSW), which include food and farm and yard wastes, are generated from student and staff cafeterias and animal farms. Improper treatment and disposal of this waste resulted in contamination of surface water and soil, air pollution, and spreading of diseases. On the other hand, soil fertility of most arable lands of Dilla Zuria woreda is highly depleted due to low levels of soil fertility management practices and inorganic-based farming. These factors make a considerable contribution to the degradation of fertile soil and reduction of yield. Thus, the management of BDSW through composting is important to minimize environmental problems and improve the soil fertility of arable lands. However, the effects of BSWC compost on plant growth and crop yield are highly variable in different studies. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of food waste compost (FWC) and leaf yard compost (LYC) at different application rates on the soil properties, growth, and yield responses of Swiss chard (Beta vulgaris L.). Food waste, leaf and yard waste, and animal dung were collected and composted in a heap-composting method. The produced organic amendments were applied to soil at an application rate of 5, 10, and 15 t/ha, respectively. Two harvesting times were considered, and at each leaf harvesting time, plant growth parameters (height, leaf number, leaf area, and fresh weight) were analyzed; after the second harvesting time, soil properties were analyzed. Results indicated that increasing rates of FWC significantly ( p < 0.001) increased the plant height, leaf area, and fresh yield of Swiss chard. The application of 15 t/ha of FWC also increased SOC, TN, available P, and CEC. Food waste was recycled through composting as a soil amendment to improve soil properties and the yield of Swiss chard.

“…Another source of organic matter that is often added to the soil is compost or vermicompost [49,50], which is made by utilizing living microorganisms to decompose plant remains and animal waste. Several research studies have already shown that the use of compost or vermicompost can improve soil fertility by increasing N, P, and K [46], increase aggregate stability and soil organic C [47], and improve plant growth on ex-mining land [48].…”

This study aims to determine the potential and limitations of land in Ngawi District, East Java, Indonesia, for cultivating rice, corn, and soybeans. The research consists of a four-stage field study conducted in Ngawi Regency: (1) organization of land units; (2) determination of observation points through stratified proportional sampling for each land unit; (3) field surveys; and (4) laboratory analysis. The land evaluation was conducted in accordance with the FAO Guidelines for Land Evaluation for Rainfed Agriculture. The results of the research indicate that 46,417.7 ha (88.1%) of the land area is highly suitable (S1) for rice and 49,286.6 ha (72.1%) is marginally suitable (S3) for corn due to poor drainage. Approximately 62,499 ha (91.4% of the total land area) are marginally suitable (S3) for soybean cultivation. There were suggested five models of land management: (1) intensive rice farming; (2) a relay cropping system for rice-corn or rice-soybeans; (3) multiple cropping systems for corn, soybeans, or rice; (4) a mono-cultural system for rice, corn, or soybeans; and (5) an agroforestry system for Albizia chinensis, corn, and soybeans. Farmers’ awareness of organic management is crucial for enhancing land productivity and maintaining soil fertility in Ngawi Regency.

“…The result was in line with the findings of Katyal and Sharma (1991) and Almås et al (2000) who found decreased availability of metal with application of organic amendments due to slow release of metals from organic-metal complex. Further, decrease in Ni availability with increasing OC may be attributed to: (a) organic matter adds CEC to soil, increasing thus the overall soil retention capacity for Ni (Tejada et al 2008, Kabata-Pendias 2010 and (b) organic matter readily creates ligands with elements of sufficiently high molecular weight that roots are unable to absorb or are insoluble in soil solution and ultimately decreased Ni availability to plants (Elfoughi et al 2012, Shaheen et al 2017.…”

Limited information is available regarding status of available Ni in Indian soil and almost no literatures available on Ni deficient soils. Hence, the present investigation was undertaken to generate database on Ni content in soil and identifying the potential Ni deficit areas. Plant available Ni in different districts soils was assessed by analyzing 526 surface soil samples from Varanasi, 684 from Mirzapur, 523 from Sant Ravidas Nagar and 558 from Chandauli district. The soil samples were analysed for soil reaction (pH), EC, organic carbon and DTPA extractable Ni. All the blocks of Varanasi were high in Ni and its content ranged from 0.03–20.88 mg kg-1. In Mirzapur district, overall 7.16% soil samples were Ni deficit, however at block level, highest deficiency was observed in Sikhar (31.67%) followed by Kon (27.78%) and Majhawa (24.32%). All the blocks of Sant Ravidas Nagar were high in nutrient index rating with variation in Ni content from 0.01–3.31 mg kg-1. Among the four districts, lowest number of Ni deficient soils (1.79 %) were found in Chandauli district with high nutrient index rating. While Mirzapur district had highest Ni deficit soil (7.16%) followed by Sant Ravidas Nagar (4.02%), however, potential threat of Ni deficiency was the highest in Sant Ravidas Nagar (22%) followed by Mirzapur (19%).
